Al Shamkha

Located far from central Abu Dhabi, Al Shamkha is a large residential neighbourhood. The major highway in UAE, Sheikh Mohammad Bin Zayed Road (E311) borders on the north-eastern side, it actually starts from Al Shamkha Community. Along the northern length of the community, Sweihan Road leads towards the outskirts of Abu Dhabi.

Strategically located away from the city and closer to the industrial area of Mussafah, the residential community will house around 22,000 people when it is completed.

Taking over an area of 419,000 sq. ft, Al Shamkha is located 40 km away from Downtown Abu Dhabi. The area was redeveloped in 2016, and the project has been coordinated between the UPC, the Department of Municipal Affairs and Transport, Abu Dhabi Housing Authority (ADHA), and the Abu Dhabi General Services Company (Musanada).
